DSM launched a new natural preservation solution for beverages, Delvo®Cid+, at the Institute of Food Technologist Annual Meeting & Food Expo 2013.
Delvo®Cid+ helps keep drinks fresh and clean-tasting for longer by applying the benefits of natamycin, a natural antifungal, to beverages. The product eliminates the risk of yeast and mold growth in beverage processing, and it significantly extends shelf life.
Delvo®Cid+ has been submitted for approval by regulatory authorities in Mexico for beverage applications, and it is expected to achieve governmental approval in other regions. Dosages remain within the acceptable daily intake (ADI) levels.
Because it's available in liquid form, Delvo®Cid+ ensures quick solubility with very low sedimentation rates. Visitors to DSM's booth at the IFT Expo can taste beverages produced with and without Delvo®Cid+ throughout the show.
“The beverage industry has been seeking an alternative preservation solution for years, and DSM is delighted to bring this latest natural innovation to the market," said Gabriela Basurto, area manager, DSM. "Working together with DSM, beverage manufacturers can develop clean tasting, long-lasting drinks with a natural label—and all without changing their production processes."
